EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of pharmacy during the Renaissance period. The image showcases a significant moment in medical history - the presentation of Theriac, a renowned medicinal concoction. The woodcut, created by Hieronymus Brunschwigs for his book "Buch der Chirurgia" in Strassburg, Germany in 1531, captures the essence of this pivotal event. A group of men, including doctors and pharmacists, gather around as one man delivers an informative presentation on Theriac. The scene is filled with intrigue and curiosity as these learned individuals absorb every word spoken about this highly sought-after remedy. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as they eagerly await their turn to experience its healing powers. It's fascinating to witness how medicine was practiced centuries ago; where knowledge was shared through presentations rather than modern-day conferences or lectures. This woodcut provides a glimpse into the past when physicians relied on natural remedies like Theriac to treat various ailments. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the importance placed on herbal medicine during that era. It serves as a reminder that even though our methods have evolved over time, there is still value in exploring traditional practices and learning from our predecessors. Overall, this print offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also invites contemplation about the evolution of medicine and its impact on society throughout different periods in history.
